This morning,before the news, I was thinking about the main partner.
What can the main partner may have brought that won't appear in the financial statement:
- State of the art lab access
- Money to fund the research, paying for the raw material for instance
- High class scientists and staff
- Access to some IP
-
If you were the main partner, why would you don't want to be named:
- To have a more mature technologies before screaming out loud
- To have a clean idea of the true potential of the tech before doing a move (buying offer)
- To keep the tech for yourself
- To be ahead of other potential adopters of this game changing technologies
-
What could trigger the time to be named?
- No choice to disclose (i.e. first revenue or NRE)
- Hard proof of concept (multiple prototypes ?)
- Buying offer
-
Any thought?
